Were knowledge databases or Lisp based NLPs ever useful or as used as much as LLMs? I don’t really understand the AI Winter analogy but perhaps I don’t understand the history that well.
- JamesLeonis 2y agoAI Winter is an extreme example of the hype cycle, and refers more to investor expectations than technical capability. In the historical case a lot of investment went into AI (Summer), and the disappointing performance caused a deep pullback in investment dollars for decades (Winter). Another way to frame my question above: Is this feature a good demonstration of AI's value (present or future) in the eyes of Microsoft's investors?
